Ahoy, bluegrass mates. The WoodSongs Old-Time Radio Hour will swap one classic string band for another at its Feb. 25 taping at the Lyric Theatre. Due to an illness within the band, Russell Moore and IIIrd Tyme Out are postponing. But look at who is the replacement – Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver, the very ensemble whose early alumni members formed IIIrd Tyme Out in the first place.

MUSINGS ON MUSIC FROM CENTRAL KENTUCKY AND BEYOND

meet walter tunis

I am a native Kentuckian and freelance journalist who has been writing about contemporary music for the Lexington Herald-Leader since 1980. I have not a lick of honest musical talent myself, just a pair of appreciative ears for jazz, folk, blues, bluegrass, Americana, soul, Celtic, Cajun, chamber, worldbeat, nearly every form of rock 'n' roll imaginable and, when pressed, the occasional tango and polka.
